  1. Plum and Tria are on the banner, but they're 5 star exclusive.

    Spoiler

    Sufficeded to say I'm not summoning on the banner at all. Even Peony being the 4 star or freebie would've been nice. There goes my hopes for a easy to obtain fairy girl.

    At least Kaden/Keaton is there for the fans since they're pretty popular. Kind of a a 180 compared to the situation in 2019 when the Fates beast banner didn't have any demotes. Those 2 being sort of the highlights of that banner returning in a more easy to get variation is ironic.

    Tomorrow night, but yeah. The schedule is off by a day, so the TT banner will launch Tuesday morning. That means a trailer Monday night, so if we're getting silhouettes, they'll be tonight.

    Oh yeah. Forgot the time zone shenanigans. Bleh.

    I hope the 4 star of the NY banner doesn't make me simp (hoping for Plum or Tria if Heroes OCs being on the last two banners is a pattern), because I spent a butt load on making a +10 W!Hilda. Otherwise I might just go mad from collecting all the orbs that have been left uncollected from all the maps this past year.

  3. I had my 11 month conscription this year so I wasn't affected all too much by the pandemic due to being stuck in a army base (any sort of negative thing for me this year could really be only attributed to just constantly dealing with my roommates' bullying and their bullshit). My family managed to carry through as well. Others unfortunately aren't too blessed. Saying they got fucked over is underselling it. I only wish for 2021 to be a positive year for all our sakes.

    With the exception of Sothis, which honestly I think they will rerun her Hero Fest for the anniversary, all those Legendary Heroes... I think they will remove them from the Legendary/Mythic Banners... Maybe they will add them into the weekly reruns? Like... a Legendary + 2 others heroes?

    About Eldigan... He looks amazing! I am not interest on the unit, though...

    They'll probably announce something around April-ish like they've done in the past when it's come to summoning pool changes. Don't wanna get my hopes up, but we could see reruns of past legendary banners (boosted rates would be nice) every week or so. Tho what you suggested seems like the safer option.

    Eldigan looks great and all, but I really wish there would be a reasonable way for me to obtain and invest in him over time without spending hundreds of orbs sniping for him on banners. He's not bad by any means, but compared to what's offered with more modern heroes, all Book 1 heroes that are still locked at 5 stars should be demoted or have another way of obtaining them (maybe a single summoning system where there are only 5 star Book 1 heroes, but the currency isn't as plentiful as orbs).

  5. Character surviving when they clearly should have died. Some BS asspull or something saves them. Have the courage to kill off your characters. Even the MC. Shift of POV isn't an entirely foreign concept.

    Bit of a shounen gripe. If you want your MC to preach about hard work and all that in your stories then don't give them some kind of unique OP ability/power to render all that worthless. Lee should've the true protagonist of Naruto.

  6. SMTV is alive. Plus Nocturne remaster. Aaaaah. I feel all warm and fuzzy.

    The JP Direct had a few more games announces although they've yet to receive a release date for English audiences. Sakuna looks like a fun 2D action RPG. And Ryza 2 for the Atelier fans. Been considering getting into the series myself so all the more better.

  7. Surprised at her not being in her Emperor attire for this round. Was expecting Armored Lord to be in a regular banner and Emperor as the legendary alt. Maybe for CYL?

    Raging Storm is pretty tame. The beast damage and dragonstone requirement for follow-ups severely dampens it. She might have a shit ton of attack to justify just running GF+BF instead of damaging specials, but at that point she starts to fall into the abyss that is aXe ArMoRs.

  8. Only ones that I have played a great deal of and remember. I have played every entry post FE3 tho. I personally prefer using a 1-5 rating since I can be more precise where I'd like to put a game

    FE5: 8

    Bit clunky, but unique gameplay; likes to take risks; good story.

    FE6: 4

    The only thing that brings me back is randomized runs.

    FE7: 7 

    Leaning more towards a 6 than a 8. Somewhat decent gameplay, but goddamn is the story atrocious.

    FE8: 7

    Map design feels very claustrophobic; story is cookie cutter, but it does it's job.

    FE9: 9

    Probably the "best" FE game, but the animations man. I keep on swinging over the Ike takes over the mercs thing, it's stupid how it's just accepted, but at the same time Shinon and Gatrie do leave. Apparently has one of the worst highest difficulties in the franchise tho it's JP exclusive. It being removed was for the better tho the game can be a bit too easy. Plot is sometimes a bit too convenient. The base from Tellius is one of the best in-between chapter menus to have existed within FE. Game designs decisions that seem to work.

    FE13: 6 

    The entry that got me invested in the series and got me to buy a 3DS. Has a lot of balancing issues to the point that one small tip of the scales can snowball into absurdly broken units. Map design is atrocious, especially on higher difficulties. There's a difference between poorly designed maps and no map designs. The story has pacing issues, filler arcs and the villains are pretty terrible. While it takes mechanic cues from previous FEs, most of them are shoehorned in to the point that they're poorly designed if not redundant. Lunatic is pretty atrocious and I heard + is godawful. Imagine ambush spawns, but with Lunatic stats

    FE14: 4

    They were trying to do something. They were obviously ambitious, but pandering at the same time. Some priorities weren't where they were supposed to be. There are stories of there being a schism between the devs for who should the game be appealing towards to. Doesn't help that the devs lied through their teeth about the state of the game shortly before release. Don't get me started on the DLC. Conquest is good tho... For it's gameplay.

    FE15: 7

    Leaning more towards a 8 than a 7. Map design is definitely atrocious, but this really isn't meant to be a standard FE game the same way FE4 is tho it's less obnoxious in it's barrier of entry. I'll give it points for trying to do something new. Some design decisions are thrown in just because, but others work out really well. Has the best presentation in the FE series. Feels distant from modern FE, but in the places it does it does it's job well. Story stumbles at places, especially endgame. I really need replay this game for the purposes of a length and thorough analysis/review.

    FE16: I don't know how I feel about it

    My honeymoon period with the this game is pretty much over. I'm making a lengthy and thorough analysis, but I've got military service shortly coming up so that'll be delayed until the end of the year.

    I don't necessarily dislike Edelgard even though I like Rhea, but that's because I haven't had any interest in playing Crimson Flower and so I don't really have any real opinion of Edelgard. I might at some point in the future, but currently, I'm kinda burned out from playing through Verdant Wind and Azure Moon. 😛

    That thing with Byleth in the voting options is weird, but good to know it's kinda fixed.

    To get CF is kind of a hassle so you'll need to look up a guide to unlock it. I should warn you though. It's quite something. I can say that much🤣. Tho there is a good moment with Dimitri in it towards the end.

    I dunno - is Alert Stance really that good as to warrant not contributing on player phase??? I'm not sold.

    Immortal Corps gives +10 avoid. Alert Stance + 15 and the upgraded version +30 which isn't that hard to achieve on Claude of all people. You can then place him on a forest tile, but even then I've seen him battling enemies in the 30s when they try to attack him with all of the above active  EDIT: just checked, no forest i n this case (only one Stance can be used and in this case it was AS+). Throw in a adjutant for the support bonus. You also have Blessing to fall back to in case of bad RNG (it lasts until it's used up).

  11. I'll give a vote to Dimitri as the dude's side representative of potential CYL winner. Waiting to see the female's side with the midterms if there's anyone there that I like.

    Surprised to see Three Houses split up like this. I guess this might lead to fewer of them in the top spots? 

    Money. They need to know which characters along with their post-timeskip version would make the most money.

  12. Lorenz since any mage can use Thrysus and they'll be out of enemy range. Also really good pick for BE since he can act as an adjutant for Ferdinand bcs of the whole "close ally" hidden mechanic that adds additional boosts to support bonuses.

    Sylvain's lance can come in handy if you want to use it.

    Any character that gives good battalions from their paralogues. Might be worth looking into flier ones.

    That's funny you put Dimitri as defense as with his insane Str, I always associated him as a physical attacker! 

    And Ashe with his more middling str I always sorta associated with support. Balthus might be our other Defense perhaps? I haven't looked at the datamined stats close enough, so ignore that if it's proven wrong. Hah.

    If he's defaulted to sniper then oh boy, Hunter's Volley will come in real handy.

  14. The system needs an overhaul. I think you shouldn't be allowed to vote for the same character multiple times. This avoids "fan club" voting and shows which characters were at least popular on a much larger scale. I can't tell most of the time whether a character is popular in some circles or if they're a popular character in the franchise.

    Maybe have more votes given with the intent of making you choose characters that aren't in the game yet.
